Observing what is currently happening in the US has led me down the Network State rabbit hole. The linked video is a great place to start if you’re not already aware of these ideas.
Unfortunately these concepts seem to be cosied up to modern fascism/monarchism, but I do wonder if this is genuinely the likeliest alternative to modern day capitalism. Yanis Varoufakis’ idea of technofeudalism seems like another way of viewing this.
Could greener, more altruistic network states co-exist with money and power hungry billionaire-led communities? Or would their greed and ambition be detrimental to the efforts of those trying to save the natural earth?
I recommend you read some actual history and anthropology because that is absolutely not how things have played out since the beginning of time. The world is a lot more complex than over-simplified understandings of game-theory.
I have read plenty, hence why I’m baffled at your denial of this concept. Frankly, I don’t think you’re arguing in good faith. Underneath all the complexity you keep trying to use as a counterargument is a simple concept that has manifested itself in countless ways throughout history and today.
